Waking up to a buzzing alarm clock is sometimes the worst thing ever. It's a gorgeous day, the sun is shining, you're happy it's a new day, but the incessant, grating buzz kills your good vibes. But the Uniqlo Wake Up app for iPhone will get you started on the right path.

What does it do?

It plays a custom song that reflects the weather, hour, and day of the week. If you want, a pleasant voice also sings the temperature, conditions, and time (but you can turn off this feature if you like).

Why do we like it?

If the sound of your alarm and your ringtone are the same, you might cringe overtime your phone rings. But with this app you avoid that effect, instead hearing lovely unique tunes. You can also share a clip from the rousing track on Facebook or Twitter. And it doesn't hurt that it is visually pleasing. It will make it a lot easier to get out of bed on those dreary, rainy days.
